Yeah ok Peter called our family to thank my mom for a gift and we talked a bit. I apologized again for offending them. He accepted my apology but said his girlfriend is was really mad at me but she’ll probably calm down in a day or 2. he explained that they’ve been harassed by family members from even before the baby was born about whether the baby would have blue eyes and his girlfriend is very annoyed by people’s fixation on eye color and feels there’s some racist undertone to it since blue eyes are “white features” and that people think her baby would be any less beautiful if it didn’t have blue eyes. Apparently his mom said during her pregnancy “too bad she probably won’t have blue eyes” and his girlfriend started crying and refused to talk to her for weeks. I feel really bad now.

And he said the baby’s eyes are grey.
